Once upon a time…

The story starts back around the year 2010, Sharon was studying Ayurveda with one of the most respected Ayurveda teachers on the planet, It’s a 5000 year-old system of knowledge that is still extremely useful in helping people to improve overall health, in particular digestion. 

Ayurveda teaches us that everyone has a unique and different body and mind constitution, what is referred to as your prakruti or body-mind blueprint. This explains why many fad wellbeing hacks don't always work for everyone. ​Rather than fixing symptoms, real solutions require addressing underlying root causes of concerns. This led us on a journey to discover other effective techniques to help our customers to balance body, mind and spirit.

We draw on a wide variety of techniques and disciplines

What we have discovered over the years is that there is no single technique or body of knowledge that perfectly suits everyone all of the time, simply because we are all different. This is why we combine a carefully selected variety of ancient and modern techniques that not only complement each other, but are highly effective for clearing, balancing and restoring energy.

Ayurveda, Kinesiology, Body-Mind Nutrition and Lifestyle Science, Hypnosis, Shamanic Energy Clearing, Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral Energy Healing, Vedic Astrology and more. The value we provide is that we have spent countless hours interpreting and integrating these various disciplines so that you don’t have to. We can help you discover what will work best for you.

We now call Ubud home

Although Sharon was actually born in Ireland, we have lived the majority of our lives in Australia.  We have also traveled extensively and lived in many other places around the world. But in 2011 we had an opportunity to discover Ubud and simply fell in love with the place. Eventually in 2015 we became regular visitors and started contemplating how can we move here?

And then the universe found a way to make it happen. Several homeless cats started appearing at our rented Villa, and one by one we started taking them in and looking after them. First Puds, then Sunshine, two beautiful beings, and we also now have regulars Hungry, Patience, Yin Yang, The Hudini’s plus many others along the way, as well as a few local Bali Dogs who drop in to say hello and eat. Upon discovering that many countries don’t allow animals from Indonesia to be brought in (Australia, we are looking at you!), it left us with no choice. We just had to find a way to stay here permanently.

In 2018, we opened PT The Juicy Effect is a registered company in Indonesia, and we have rights to work in Indonesia. We are open for business!

Why did we call ourselves The Juicy Effect?

From Ayurveda, rasa means essence or juice, and ayana means path.  Rasayana is the science of rejuvenation or 'juicing up' in order to live a healthy life. This is what The Juicy Effect is all about.

Where it becomes really exciting for us is that more and more of our customers are genuinely amazing people who want to make a positive impact on the world.  Did you know that every one of us has a circle of influence of around 120 people that we see on a daily and weekly basis. Friends, family, co-workers, clients, grocery store clerks, gym trainers, the person who smiles at you on the bus or walking down the street, etc.   We all intuitively know that our vibe impacts others, the science just happens to prove it!

Meet Jason here. And meet Sharon here.
